Stop it NL. Im trying not to watch these Mario Kart videos so there will be some element of surprise when it comes out. Meanwhile, this is first game on Wii U that ive actually started counting down days on. Its like being back and school and counting the days til summer.

I bought a wii u on release day last year, My library now includes super mario u, super luigi u, blops2, ac3, rayman, pikman 3, nl, scribblenauts unlimited. Im in NA so I picked up mario 3d world( and link between worlds) on friday. The reason im telling you this is before this game my wife wanted nothing to do with the WiiU. She loved the wii and was addicted to mario party, mario galaxy, and fortune street. Since friday she has almost completed mario 3d world... good job nintendo on making something people who are not loyal followers want to play again. That my friend is what sells consoles. Because now she will go back to work tomorrow and share her experiences with coworkers....

"What doesn't make sense is how he can say EA goes where the gamers are but then says they're working on games for PS4 and XBone, which have zero gamers at the moment." Exactly my point with risks, the gaming industry is no longer wanting to do original things, everything is money centric now. Do we need go back to the "games are art" debate!

I understand the No buyers argument, its one many developers are using in reference to the Wii U. But the issue here is a catch 22, Nintendo can't sell systems because there is not enough games, and developers are refusing to work on a system that isn't selling. Its a shame, it seems big game developers only want a "sure thing", no one is wanting to take risks. Which taking risks and going outside the norm is what creates innovation. Which quite frankly the video game industry needs. How long before people get tired of FPS?

This DLC is much more difficult then the SMBU, Although it is still very fun, some levels will have you pulling hair and looking for secret exits just to avoid them (.... world 2 mini boss castle!) All and all excellent add-on for the price. Would it had been priced at 30 instead of 20, i would be slightly upset.
